First, I think it’s way too early to say Obama is “failing” as a leader, especially in the historical context. From my observations, he is in fact successful in “leading,” as he has accomplished much of what he wanted on the first month of his term — despite a few faux pas regarding appointments.
The REAL question is, WHERE is he leading? I think he is accomplishing exactly what he set out to do. It’s not his ability to lead that is problematic, it’s where he’s taking us that is the disaster-in-waiting. But, he knows that too. And it is out of that chaos that he can “remake” our nation.
Think about it...
You would enjoy my thread on that concept. It supports your worthy assessment.
Exactly...and he appears to be leading us to a socialist democracy - fast. Sadly, it appears most of our fellow Americans want that too. Hence, his popularity remains high - despite the Dow. The majority of Americans think we’re just in a cycle, and things will return to “normal.” They don’t see the end of what he’s started...and it’s not good for the U.S. or the world.
